Responses (6) Zoloft and most SSRI / SNRI's take roughly one to two weeks to take effect. Some people experience a positive effect sooner, and some don't respond to the medication, and possibly the dosage needs to be increased, and or a different medication needs to be given a try. Thank you for your response.

Pale stool is stool (feces) that is unusually light in color instead of medium to dark brown. The appearance of pale stools can include a variety of light colors or tints, such as white, silver, gray, light yellow, or putty-colored.Normal brown stool coloring results from the breakdown of bilirubin, which is produced by the breakdown of old red blood cells.n the colon, bilirubin is broken down into stercobilin, which gives stool its brown color. Unusually pale or light-colored stool is often caused by a serious condition that interferes with bilirubin metabolism, such as a blockage of the bile ducts or liver disease.
